history

Barneveld has existed as a church village since 1333. However, it is believed that the place is much older. This assumption is based on a document from 1174 which names one of Wolfram van Barneveld . In the restless 15th century, local hero Jan van Schaffelaar is said to have escaped torture and thus the possible betrayal of his allies by throwing himself to his death from the church tower in Barneveld. There is a country estate near Barneveld which is actually called Schaffelaar .

To increasingly censored connections of the English, the message to become independent, was in 1918-1923 Kootwijk - with 2.4 MW particularly strong - long-wave transmitters to communicate with the colony Dutch East Indies in Java , using the Malabar radio station in 11,500 km Distance (southeast) erected. The transmitter building has a - technically necessary - 900 m 2 large hall, was built in the new building material concrete and - inspired by the figure of a sphinx in the Art Deco style and is empty today and is now a Rijksmonument . Short-wave transmitters that require less energy and allow voice transmission soon followed, and in 2000 the last transmitter functions were shut down.

During the German occupation in World War II between December 1942 and September 29, 1943, several hundred Jews were housed on the Schaffelaar property as so-called “protection Jews”. Reichskommissar Seyß-Inquart had allowed the Dutch State Secretary Karel Johannes Frederiks and Jan van Dam , the Secretary General in the Ministry of Education, Science and Cultural Administration, to nominate around five hundred Jews for it. At the end of September 1943, however, these were taken to Westerbork and deported on to Theresienstadt on September 4, 1944 . A memorial plaque has stood on an access road to the castle since September 29, 1987, commemorating the murdered Jews.
